Kathirikai Theeyal- How To Make Brinjal Theeyal? Video Recipe

HOW TO MAKE KATHIRIKAI THEEYAL?

When i first discovered the flavor bomb called Kathirikai Theeyal, i became a fan of Kerala food for life. This dish that is called Kathirikai theeyal has all my favorite things- eggplants, coconut, shallots and coconut oil. While i wont call it a simple recipe in terms of the procedure, it is a very simple dish when it comes to the ingredients.

The concept of theeyal revolves around roasting the coconut to a light golden brown on a slow flame and grinding this along with other spices to a paste. Now, like any Indian recipe, the kathirikai theeyal has its own number of versions. But the central idea is pretty much one- roast the coconut! The theeyal is another dish that is a part of the 7 course meal that is served on the festival of Onam. A good sadhya must definitely have a good theeyal and if it has eggplants, well, i guess i m bowled over. You can find more Onam recipes here.
